OpenVPN for IPCop 1.4.10

Introduction

I use IPCop now for several years, and VPN was allways a mainly used feature.

With the 1.4 release it was possible to define roadwarrior connection but this part is hard to configure except when using certificates, so i was allways searching for alternatives ways to use roadwarrior VPN connections.

Inspiered through an article in the c't magazine about OpenVPN, i googled for existing OpenVPN addons. I found several links, one off them LINK was an addon from Markus Hoffman wich adds OpenVPN support to IPCop >=1.42 but this addon has no gui, so i contacted Markus about adding a gui for his addon, and so i started.

After two days of programming, i found a page where some people had allready build and OpenVPN addon with guil called ZERINA, as their gui was more ready then my two days of work, i contacted them to cooperate for an improved gui, that was the start for my ongoing attemp of a new gui for OpenVPN. The code mainly depens on part of the IPCop cgi pages vpnmain.cgi, xtaccess.cgi and portfw.cgi

The idea

..was to provide an easy way for roadwarrior clients to connect to the LAN (green interface) based on certificates.
